[![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)  ![GitHub stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/lichen14/awesome-weakly-supervised-segmentation?color=yellow)  ![GitHub forks](https://img.shields.io/github/forks/lichen14/awesome-weakly-supervised-segmentation?color=green&label=Fork)  ![visitors](https://visitor-badge.glitch.me/badge?page_id=lichen14.awesome-weakly-supervised-segmentation)

* Recently, weak-supervised image analysis has become a hot topic in medical&natural image computing. Unfortunately, there are only a few open-source codes and datasets, since the privacy policy and others. For easy evaluation and fair comparison, we are trying to build a weak-supervised image analysis benchmark to boost the weak-supervised learning research in the image computing community. 

* If you are interested, you can push your implementations or ideas to this repo or contact [me](https://lichen14.github.io/) at any time.

* My personal interest is mainly focused on medical image segmentation tasks, but this repo will also collect many papers on natural image detection and segmentation tasks.   

### Typical weak annotations include image-level labels, bounding boxes, points, and scribbles. This repo focus on points and scribbles.

## Conclusion

* This repository provides daily-update literature reviews, algorithms' implementation, and some examples of using PyTorch for weak-supervised image segmentation. The project is under development. 

In the future, it will support 2D and 3D semi-supervised image segmentation and includes five widely-used algorithms' implementations.

		

* In the next two or three months, we will provide more algorithms' implementations, examples, and pre-trained models.
